THE New York Tribune, discussing the
question Of tornadoes and settlement, says:
ut is an interesting question whether settle

ment can be maintained" Yes, it is quite an
interesting question, and it would be simpli
fed if somebody would kindly point out the
far as heard from tornadoes are highly cratic.

there is no need Of his writing letter. unless

Remarkable Record Of Rail
Laying in Ten Months.
NEARLY TEN THOUSAND MILES
Already Laid This Year-Changt
of Tariff-General Holiday
To-day-Fresh Notes.

During the last few months the work OF
railway building has been going on in the
United States at rate never before equaled.
The great prosperity Of the country and the
tendency to migrate into new and undevel-
oped regions have encouraged the great
railway companies to push forward an
enormous amount of new mileage in order
to anticipate or keep up with similar enter
prise on the part of their competitors. Lo
cal enterprise in the way Of building shorter
lines has also been stimulated to high de
gree, rails and other material entering into
the construction of railways have been
cheap, the weather for the greater part OF
the year thus far has been very favorable to
outdoor labor, and all things have Conspired
to encourage activity, in railway con-
struction. The result, so far as
months ago our statement showed total or
GAGE miles of new main line known TO have
been laid in the first eight months of the
year; to-day we present a summary showing
that this has been increased nearly 5000
miles, ard that up to November l It there
had been laid in the United states alone
over 94OO miles of main track, not counting
hundreds of miles of siding and additional
tracks This great work has been going on
Territories, and the number of lines thus
taken by States aggregates 274, although in
several cases the same road is reported
upon in two or more States. The following
table summarizes the detailed returns, so
far as we have obtained them, up to Novem-

porting 377 miles, Michigan 800 miles,
Missouri 1926 miles and Iowa 242 miles. In
all Of these States works are still In progress
which will materially Increase the figures
by tue close of the year. Seve 81 OF the
Southern States have shown considerable &C.
tivity, and the States and Territories OF the
under construction, but the Middle and New
England States have thus far contributed
comparatively little to the new
mileage The only ps portions OF the
tracklaying has thus far been reporte
this year are New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Della
ware and Nevada; six only out of the forty.
seven States and Territories.
The remarkable characteristic of the
years work of railway building is the fact
that very large part of 1t has been done
by few companies. Thus we find, using
round numbers that the Atchison, Topeka

parts of its system some 1900 miles,
the st. Paul, Minneapolis 4 Mani
toba 300 miles, the Chicago, Rock Island
Il Pacific In Kansas and Nebraska 700
miles. and the Chicago, Burlington & Quin-
cy In Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado 600
miles, these four companies thus contrib |
uti1g more than one-third of all the track
laying thus far recorded. Some dozen or
more other great companies have each |
built hundreds of miles of road and vet onr
records show that not far from
two hundred different companies through
out the country have participated in the |
work of construction, 10 that even IL the
great systems whose progress has been 80
aggressive and rapid had not been spurred
on 70 competitive building there would still
have been thousands of miles of new road
built to meet the natural demands of Q rap
idly growing and prosperous country.
Meantime the work Of projecting and or
ganizing new enterprises has been going on

These figures for ten months considerably
surpass those for the same period in the re,
markable year 1882, when a total of IL ,56S
miles of new road was built. They also
show that already in 1887 more track has
been laid than in the whole of 1886, and
nearly as much as in 1881, when 9,796
miles were added, while they put far in the
shade the record of all other years in the
history of this or any other country. We
have no doubt that the total
new mileage built in 1887 will reach
fully to our previous estimate of 10000
miles, snd shall not be surprised if it even
exceeds that. While work has been com
pleted for the year upon several of the great
lines it is still in progress on many others
SO actively that already cor siderable add
lions have been made since the date of our
last returns, and if the weather continues
favorable the final reports will be certain to
show an addition of several thousand miles
over the figures here given. As a means oil
comparison we reprint the following sum-
mary of track-laying during each CT the

Dear Sirs: About three months ago,
nslicibg letter addressed to you in
the Bee from Gen. Slevin, in refer
ence to the cure of his son by the
use of Halls Catarrh Cure, we were
induced to commence the use of it
for our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering
from catarrh for about eight years,
during which time she has been treat
ed by one OF the best physicians in
the city. We have also tried the
use of almost all the known remedies
for catarrh. with no more Success
than temporary relief Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her mouth
oren to keep her from s,rangling
Her hearing had also become affect
ed. We were AFRAID that she would
never recover. We have now used
six bottles Of Halls Catarrh Cure,
and We believe Nellie to be entirely
cured. In a few days after com
menCing the use Of it we noticed a
decided change for the better, and
from that right along she has i'm
proved, until now she breathes as
easily as any one. She sleeps well
and her hearing is perfectly good
We feel that the disease is entirely
removed. We write this unsolicited
letter, feeling that it is due you, and
with the hope that other may he ben
Gifted in like manner. We can
hardly realize that such change
could be effected IN so short a time
after battling with The disease SO long,
We are still using the remedy at in
iervals, as it seems to build up her
system. Youl>ate at liberty to use
this in apylmanner you see proper.
